Outside the stone gate, there was the very wide tomb passage. The master walked into the tomb passage with great steps. I followed him and asked him again: "Is my master a yang branch or a yin branch?"

The master sighed inexplicably and said, "The leaders of the Shuzheng lineage have all the yang branches. When it comes to the thousand-year inheritance of the Shuzheng lineage, they mainly refer to your yang branches, our Yin branches, haha, it is the shadow of your yang branches. For example, your master and you have both Yin and Yang branches, but many times there are only Yang branches but no Yin branches. Isn't this what your generation is like? Alas, when Zong Yuan and I were learning skills with Master, Zong Yuan was the disciple taught by Master step by step. As for me, after Master taught me basic skills, he threw me a few books and asked me to explore it myself. These things are impossible. After all, Master himself has no idea about the inheritance of Yin branches."

The first paragraph of my master’s words was said to me, and the next paragraph was just talking to myself.

Not long after walking along the tomb passage, we returned to the tomb where Wang Dafu lived. At this time, Wang Dafu had not come back yet, and a pot of fish he had cooked before leaving was placed on the stove. In the center of the tomb, there were a few large leather bags. Each bag was round and should have contained supplies brought by his master.

When I passed by one of the bags, I took a look and found that the bag was filled with boxes of bullets, and there were several long knives with scabbards.

The master said to me with a smile: "It's not easy for Lao Wang to stay here for so many years. Haha, I specially got him some self-defense things."

I asked my master in confusion: "Wang Dafu stayed in such a place for thirty years?"

The uncle nodded and was about to say something to me, but Liang Houzai also curiously opened a bag, which immediately attracted my uncle to roar: "What are you doing? Have you touched those things?"

I was fine just now, why did I get angry in the blink of an eye?

Liang Houzai was startled by my uncle, and Liangzi was also confused. My uncle glared at Liang Houzai again, then turned his eyes to me and said to me: "Haha, when Lao Wang said he was coming to guard the tomb, I also asked him what he was doing, but he only said that since he came in, there must be his reason, but he didn't want to reveal any other things."

When my master talked to me, his tone returned to his previous affinity, but when he yelled at Liang Houzai and Liangzi, he had a fierce expression, which was completely different from his current appearance.

At this time, the master continued to say the topic just now: "I thought it was strange at that time. I often traveled around Hebei and Shaanxi in recent years, and conducted some investigations on Lao Wang's affairs. I have seen his nephew and read their genealogy with an excuse. The genealogy of the Wang family is very long. The first ancestor of their family was from Xianyang, with the surname Cen. Judging from the genealogy, their ancestors may have been pre-Qin clans, but in the early years of the Han Dynasty, the family changed their surname to "Tu", and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the surname was Wang."

There is indeed a surname Tu. There seems to be a lot of people with surname Tu in some areas, but for me at that time, Tu was a surname I had never seen before. No one around me, including the characters in the TV series and the celebrities who appeared in the textbooks.

So much so that I thought this last name did not exist.

I heard my master continue, "After seeing that family tree, I vaguely feel that when Wang Dafu came to Erlong Bay, it might not be as simple as supporting construction. He might have known early in the morning that there was a Dragon King tomb under Erlong Bay."

Speaking of this, my uncle suddenly asked me: "You Tao, do you usually read historical books?"

I shook my head, and my uncle looked at me with some reproach and said, "What I want to see in the future! Using history as a guide can help you know the rise and fall of the world, do you understand? Haha, what I want to see in the future, those in our industry must understand history."

After saying this, my uncle suddenly stopped and stared at me with a serious face.

I thought he was going to get angry again, and for a moment he became cramped and didn't know where to look. After a while, I heard from my master again: "You must understand history."

This time, I quickly looked very modest and serious, and nodded to my uncle.

The master's expression suddenly softened, and he said to me with a smile: "From the time when Lao Wang's family changed its surname twice, he should be a descendant of the tomb guardians. At that time, Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, destroyed some of the coefficients on the ground of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum. After the founding of the Han Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, someone made a simple repair of the tomb of the First Emperor, and then transferred twenty families to station the emperor's tombs from the local area. At that time, the settlement of the Cen family, the Cen family, was not far from the emperor's tomb. Later, because these tomb guardians made contributions to guard the tombs, they were given the surname "Tu" by Emperor Gaozu of Han. Haha, this coincides with the first time in the genealogy of Lao Wang's family."

I heard the things my master said very strangely, and these things are not in history textbooks at all.

Later, the master said that Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, knew that his period was coming. When he saw that the tomb of the First Emperor's death was destroyed, he realized that after his death, the tomb would be robbed by later generations. He selected eighteen people from the tomb guards to guard Changling for generations. Among the eighteen people, one of them was the thirteenth generation disciple of Gongshuban. It was this person who relied on the skills he passed down from his ancestors and the support of the court to establish a righteous sect that took to guarding tombs and tombs as his mission. Later generations called it the tomb guards, and the disciples and grandchildren in the sect were directly called the tomb guards.

At first, the tomb guards were only distributed in the Changling area. Until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and all the tomb guards were expelled from Changling. From that time on, the tomb guards became a real sect in the martial arts world.

From the time when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty to the death of Emperor Ling of Han, few people guarded the tombs appeared in the world. No one knew what they had done. There were rumors about them in today's Henan area. According to a sorcerer at that time, the tomb guards discovered nine large tombs with Qitong Jiuzhou. The tomb guards had been divided into nine groups and stationed near the nine large tombs to prevent thieves from digging the graves.

The sorcerer died after the news was spread, and he was assassinated. I also heard from my master that there are detailed records of this incident in an ancient book collected by Jihunzhuang. It says that the sorcerer "died on the night of no end." The master also explained that the meaning of this sentence was probably that the night the warrior died in heaven. He was pressed on the chopping board and killed with a knife.

Later, it was the Three Kingdoms period. In order to reap military resources, Cao Mengde formed the Jinshi Captain. Legend has it that an ancient tomb discovered by the Jinshi Captain was exactly the tomb guarded by the tomb guards. No one knew what kind of sparks a collision between the tomb guards and the Jinshi Captain. The ancient book only said that after experiencing that incident, Prime Minister Cao sent someone to find the stronghold of the tomb guards.

I don’t know if the tomb guardians were afraid of Cao Cao’s revenge or what. All the disciples disappeared overnight. Except for the fact that they appeared briefly in the late Yuan Dynasty, there was no record of them in historical materials.

Master said that Jihun Village still collects many ancient historical books. Most of the records in those books are secrets that cannot be involved in official history. Those books are very important information for those of us guarding the main gate who often walk in ancient tombs.

Finally, the master said: "It is said that the nine tombs discovered by the tomb guardians in their early years were related to the Jiuzhou Cauldron. I also thought that this Dragon King Tomb was one of the nine tombs. Haha, I later found that I was thinking too much. I searched through this tomb, but I saw a lot of evil corpses, but I never found anything similar to the cauldron.

I am also half-believing about my uncle's words. What is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Nine Tombs of Jiuzhou Cauldron, it sounds too mysterious.

Regarding the Jiuzhou tripod, my master mentioned it once or twice before I entered the master's sect. According to my master, the Jiuzhou tripod did exist. From the early years of the Xia Dynasty to the late Zhou Dynasty, the Jiuzhou tripod was always a symbol of imperial power. It was passed down from the kings of all generations from generation to generation. Until Qin unified the six kingdoms, he disappeared. After the Qin Dynasty, the treasure of the national heritage changed from the Jiuzhou tripod to the national heritage jade seal. In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, a man named Li Congke burned himself in Xuanwu Tower with his jade seal and died. Since then, there has been no trace of the national heritage jade seal.

The master said that the imperial jade seal was carved from a piece of uncultivated jade. The jade had been changed hands by different people after wars. Because it was too popular and had a lot of evil spirits, the spiritual charm had long been destroyed. However, the Jiuzhou tripod was cast by Dayu, and it had a map of Jiuzhou Mountain and River on it. If it was still there, it should be considered a magical tool.

In addition, my master also said that since the Qin Dynasty, historians have never concluded the question of whether the Jiuzhou tripod is one or nine tripods.

Anyway, no matter whether the Jiuzhou tripod is a one-door tripod or a nine-door tripod, countless people have found it or them for thousands of years. Since the rumors say that the nine tombs discovered by the tomb guardians are related to the Jiuzhou tripod, I don’t believe that no one has tried to find the Jiuzhou tripod through the tomb guardians for so many years.

Master said that the tomb guardians have hardly ever appeared since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there is no way to believe such things. Those tomb guardians may be able to avoid the butler's suspicion, but since ancient times, there have been countless strange people in the world. The court cannot find them, and can't the sects in the world find them? Not to mention ancient times, even in this era, aren't there still Jiufengshan? There are people like He Laogui?

Actually, to be honest, I was at most confused and curious about Wang Dafu’s affairs, but I didn’t care about it very much. What I care most about now is Luo Youfang’s affairs.
